White County Commission approves surplus and sale of roughly 20 acres to State of Tennessee for $2.40
Summary
The commission voted 11–1 (2 absent) to surplus and sell about 20 acres of county‑held property to the State of Tennessee, a parcel the county had held pending the state's procurement; the recorded sale price in the meeting was $2.40.
The White County Commission approved a motion to surplus and sell roughly 20 acres of county‑held land to the State of Tennessee after a dispute tied to the State’s procurement process.
A commissioner revisited the earlier failed resolution and moved to surplus the property. The item had been discussed previously; the chair and staff said the county had purchased the parcel "in order to hold it for the state until they could get their procurement process done," and that "they breached it, and we need to surplus this to sell it to them." The proposed disposal covers approximately 20 acres and, as stated in the meeting, the sale price was "$2.40." The commission recorded the vote as 11 yes, 1 no and 2 absent and carried the motion.
What’s next: Following the vote, county staff will proceed with the surplus and sale documentation required to transfer the parcel to the State of Tennessee. The commission did not record additional conditions in the meeting minutes.
